The winners of each group will qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and the eight best runners-up will advance to the second round (play-offs).

Second round (play-offs): The eight best runners-up from the first round will play home-and-away over two legs. The four winners will qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Not a terrible group for Italy, us and Spain should go through. Group A is a bit tricky.

It was a pretty amazing draw for both teams. Bendtner is so scoring vs us.

Second place will only get a play-off spot though. Actually, the worst second place won't even get that.

Name me four more talented NT's.

Also, we can sit and debate, but: http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/. Malta is no. 158.

As someone already said earlier, you have a lot of talented players individually, but you're not quite there with the big ones as a team. I can easily name more than 4.

Argentina are only talented upfront. Spain is mediocre these days.

Incredible.

Tough group.

Not an easy group by any means, but if the team keeps playing as it has in the EURO qualifications, it can beat every team in there. And even if things don't quite work out, 2nd place is a reachable objective for sure.

Everything depends on how the performances develop though, if we go back to our pre-2013 levels we're not gonna be higher than 4th place.

And Koller needs to stay.
